      FAKE ALERT!!!! Two more suspect stars, both having features similar to fakes showed in this thread. For sale by the same seller in Bulgaria. First is Civil Merit 2nd class

      Are you sure that silver cross is Bulgarian Bravery award? Looking at the blurry photos you can't really say with certainty. Shape of the award is similar to Bravery, but image in the center does not look like Bulgarian lion.

      No, they can't be researched

      Russian President Putin attended celebraions and parade. He was awarded Order of Serbian Republic 1st class on large chain. This is supposedly the highest award of Serbia. Here's the link to video, Putin recives award on 40 seconds into the video: http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/multimedia/2014/10/141016_putin_visit_serbia

      Super rare document! Thanks!

      Hideous piece, those women look scary, especially the one in the center medallion!

      Simply amazing that Igor managed to do this research on normally unnamed award!!!

      Do you have a scan of second doc?
    11. new world
      Pierce - welcome! In your initial post there are TWO documents to Milch. What's the other document?
    12. new world
      It's for Grand Cross. Awarded to Lieutanant-General E Milch, State Secretary of Aviation Ministry. Very impressive doc! Do whether it's in a museum or in a collection?
    13. new world
      These look like 2 different documents. Grand and 1st class are not the same. Do you have full pics of his documents?
    14. new world
      Lieutenant Milch at the time of awarding was a Secretary in German Ministry of Aviation. He later became a Fieldmarshal in Nazi Germany.

      RE: Admiral in Post #17 - his group was sold by a major dealer some years ago, I don't remember his name - have to look through my archive.
    16. new world
      This is scary development. Until now there were no decent fakes of mid and low level Bulgarian awards, only high classes and stars. It looks like fakers are moving downstream, so watch out!

      Numbered one
    18. new world
      More questions than answers...

      I meant not done at the state mint, not in the same facility where awards were made.

      I have Hero award from last emission in my collection. Award in question looks mosty fine (except for the stones). It seems to be completely missing silver plating on the reverse of center star though.
    21. new world
      Vast majority of these awards were without numbers. One numbered example that I saw had number that looked like it was not done professionlly - it looked engraved rather than stamped, like on most Yugoslavian awards. In my book these numbers were not placed on the awards on the mint.

      Techically hard enamel is not that complex to do if one has the equipment (it involves a stove to reach proper temperature for enamel powder to bake). I suspect dark area on the edge is result of chemical reaction between metal, enamel and air, meaning the fakers didn't get the process down completely or didn't use correct materials.
    23. new world
      It's not supposed to be numbered.
    24. new world
      Both documents are 3rd class. Nice docs!
    25. new world
      #2 means very little, it's just number of documents issued within certain year. Note the date is January 5th, #2 means the document was given early in the year. That number has no effect on the price!
